Chapter 22: Four Hours of Halftime

"Commander Brian is unwell, the next battle will be in charge of the Second Legion, George, do you have any confidence?"

The general still looked at George with a smile on his face, full of anticipation.

Can George say no?

"Yes, please rest assured. ”

"Very good, this time we have invested nearly 30,000 people in five legions, which is already half of the total strength of the Southern Continent, and we can't afford to lose.

Brian's way he is, I'm sad, George, don't let me down. ”

The generals are awe-inspiring in their hearts, it doesn't matter if they are disappointed or not, the important thing is that they unconsciously realize that they can't afford to lose.

This would have been unthinkable just a few days ago.

If he loses, the best result is to leave the Southern Continent in a gloomy way.

George, who had dispersed the meeting, gathered the generals of the legion to discuss the next offensive deployment.

He didn't have a choice.

The invincible Brian fell on his pride and lost badly, not at all.

George, the second thousand-year-old man, watched coldly from the sidelines, and naturally saw it very thoroughly.

Although there are not many mascots, there are natural dangers as screens and sharp weapons as obstacles, and it is undoubtedly self-inflicted to deal with them in the old-fashioned way of dealing with the natives.

It's just that he still can't understand why Brian, who is like a god of war, would make such a low-level mistake in the face of the mascot, and encounter the Waterloo of life, or the kind that slipped to the end.

This is completely inconsistent with the identity of the 'God of War'!

I don't understand it, but the business is in front of him, and George naturally knows the priority.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Brian has paid the price for his arrogance, how do we deal with ourselves?"

This is a hurdle that George can't get around, and it is a problem that he needs to solve urgently.

He will not make this kind of mistake.

As for where Brian's self-confidence and arrogance come from, he doesn't care at all.

Now that he is a pioneer, the opportunity is in his own hands, and the only thing to do is to try his best to defeat the mascot, prove his military talent, and throw away the notoriety of the second thousand-year-old.

If the position of the second boss is taken by Brian, the gold content of this boss will be greater.

Having said that, in addition to not being aggressive and not greedy for merit, how to deal with the mascot is always a problem, and he can't figure out one, two, or three by himself.

With 4,500 men of the 2nd Army Corps, it was impossible to capture that fortress, even if the general had given him the command of the artillery.

"A hard attack will definitely not work, we all know the two days of fighting, so the method used by the First Army is not advisable. ”

It was Joseph, the captain of the 1st Brigade, who was an old man in the 2nd Legion and George's confidant.

"What the captain said is reasonable, if it weren't for the mascot who blocked the road with a battleship today, the losses of the First Army would not be so great. ”

"That is, their fleet is very strong, not only flexible but also long-range, and our artillery is simply out of reach. If our fleet were here, why would it be so passive. ”

The captains of the second and third teams spoke one after another.

They have discovered the advantages and great value of the existence of auspicious warships, and they have asked for the fleet to be transferred for frontal suppression, at least it can also play a role in involvement.

On this point, George couldn't agree more.

"In addition, the First Legion's use of the old and weak peasants as cannon fodder is really inconsiderate. The captain said.

"What do you mean by that?" said George, who had thought it was a stroke of genius.

"The farmers have gained a lot of benefits from auspiciousness, and the two sides are getting closer, and what we see is only the tip of the iceberg.

Today, the First Army used the peasants to coerce auspicious submission, but it is a pity that the peasants, old and young, finally defected and fell short, which is enough to explain the problem.

And we have all been kept in the dark, and the peasants have completely fallen to the auspicious side, which is undoubtedly worse for us, unless ......"

They don't know the role Chai Rong plays in it.

But it's no wonder that those who know the reason have been buried on Shenlong Island.

"Unless what?" said George, his eyes red, staring at Joseph in anticipation.

"Unless you kill one and make an example of a hundred, you will destroy the peasant clan, so as to shock the other nine clans. ”

"This ......"

Everyone was stunned.

Joseph's proposal was too bloody, brutal and rude.

But apart from curiosity, there doesn't seem to be much overreaction.

"That's nearly a million people. ”

"That is, even if you stand still, you have to cut it for days. ”

Someone reminded.

Everyone is entangled in the fact that the other party has too many people and can't kill them in a short time, but they never care about what morality is.

"You don't have to kill them all, the women and girls are kept, and the boys are well trained, which will be a good help in the future. At least, some of the jobs are good for them, aren't they? ”

Joseph's words drew a burst of laughter, and everyone agreed.

"We can divide some of the peasants' captures among the nine tribes, and divide them one by one, turning them into our allies. ”

"Can they be willing?"

"That's it, I'm hanging. ”

"Aren't you afraid that today's events will happen again?"

"I don't know my heart!"

"That is, it is difficult to draw skin and bones, and you don't know your heart, how can you be sure that people are really attached?"

Everyone was gossiping, worried that this was just the captain's wishful thinking, and in the end it would not end well.

Joseph's assertion is highly questionable, and this scene is very common.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the most populous peasant clan is gone, and the rest of the people should weigh it too.

Judging from the current situation, the mascot is still at a disadvantage, and can only defend passively, and cannot attack at all. The Nine Clans are not fools, so they can naturally see the situation clearly.

As soon as the peasants are wiped out, auspiciousness has no backup, so why be afraid?

According to intelligence, they have a huge fleet of nearly 30 ships, and now there are only more than 10 ships left, where are the others?

Fleeing, they are weak and afraid!

This is an opportunity for us to give the other nine clans a letter of acceptance, and it is a charity, and this point must be clarified.

If they do, they are allies who fight side by side, and if they don't, the peasants are their examples.

In this way, by pulling over and dividing, we at least control most of the tribes, even if there are three or two hard bones to carry, directly bite and swallow them, just use them to send those loyal dogs who are loyal to us, killing two birds with one stone, why not?

You know, only these people can be at ease.

After destroying the mascots, isn't it a piece of cake to pick them up?"

The words were eerie and terrifying, and they were extremely meticulous.

How strange is that there is no excuse for everyone to object.

But after tasting it carefully, I think it really makes sense.

Punished the peasants because of their disobedience, this is the knife they handed over themselves, and they just took it and stabbed it to the other nine tribesmen, this is a big stick.

Divide the seizures of the peasants to the nine tribes, this is a carrot.

If you accept it, you are your own person, and if you don't accept it, you are heretical.

At this time, there is only black and white, and there is no room for gray, and the end is only destruction.

The natives, who are blessed with interests, know how to survive and make choices that are beneficial to them.

In this way, why does the great color eye person still need to be on the front line and face the storm of the mascot?

With millions of natives, just fighting to consume, there is no bone residue left that the mascot can swallow.

An artillery without gunpowder and projectiles is not as good as a wooden stick.

"Good idea, when the fleet arrives, the mascot will be the turtle in the urn. ”

"Haha......"

"Okay, on the one hand, send someone to report the plan to the general and obtain authorization, and on the other hand, send a large army to prepare for the overnight crusade against the peasants. ”

George was very excited at this time, he suddenly realized that he was no worse than Brian, and it was only half a night that he had found a way to deal with the mascot, and there was no flaw.

In this way, the only thing that is bad for him is that he has no chance to perform, and he only blames this Brian for being too domineering and stealing his limelight.

Fortunately, feng shui takes turns, and as soon as he took over, he had a clear tactical idea, which was reasonable, reasonable, and well-founded.

The previous timidity and lack of self-confidence turned out to be suffering from not having the opportunity to play.

So let's make this war the foundation for my George to replace Brian......

Chai Rong, who had slept all day, bounced up from the bed suddenly.

The guards gave him a boxed lunch, and after devouring it, he hurriedly found Wang Zhi and said that he wanted to go back.

"I heard the guards say that auspicious today is a great victory, and more than 1,000 have been captured, which is very good, very good. ”

In addition to being excited, he was also full of worry, "Because of this, I have to hurry back, they will anger my clan again, I can't let the old things happen again!"

Looking at the anxious Chai Rong, Wang Zhiqi stepped forward and pressed him on the stool, "Don't worry, I have sent someone to inform the Chai Patriarch in the morning, and he also replied, and at noon I asked Commander Liu to support two transport ships over, and I guess this will be running between the stronghold and the station." ”

Chai Rong was relieved when he heard this, and he got up and thanked Wang Zhi constantly.

Wang Zhi avoided his thanks and said with a smile: "In this way, the peasants and the invaders will completely tear their faces, and they really have to plan well."

You go back first, assist the people to transfer, and then discuss the matter carefully, remember, you must learn to break your tail to survive!"

Hearing this, Chai Rong felt miserable in his heart, this was the second time Wang Zhi had said this.

He also knows that the transfer of a million people can happen overnight.

"What we need to do now is to move to the new base as soon as possible, and if you get a minute, you will save more incense from the peasants. ”

After a pause, Wang Zhi continued, "In order to prevent the surprise attack of the invaders, the navy will send two warships to cruise near your dock, and there are no more, I hope you will understand." ”

This made Chai Rong inexplicably moved, from the heart.

"Thanks, keep in touch, I'll go first. ”

After sending Chai Rong away, Wang Zhi began to study the map again, and those corpses had to be disposed of.

Otherwise, it's just the germs they produce that make the mascot miserable.

"It's like this every time, both killing and burying, when is it a head!"

He complained, and then had to choose between several locations.

"Newspaper, commissioner, representative of the steel plant, please meet. ”

"Pick up. ”

The person who came was Pei Lian, the head of the steel mill in the southern continent, who wanted to take over the seized ordnance and use it to build all kinds of tools urgently needed for the building.

Wang Zhi expressed support on behalf of the government and asked the other side to seek the views of the military.

This was a capture by the army, and Liu Liu's opinion was respected, even though he Wang Zhi was the head of the place.

The steel mill in the southern continent was built on the east side of Shenlong Island, north of the wharf, mainly to use a broken platform about ten meters high to make steel in the west.

This is a key supported industry, and it deserves to be the boss.

A number of iron ore concentrates have been found on nearby islands and are of excellent quality.

Although there is no coal, there are abundant forest resources here, and it is enough to meet the urgent needs.

In addition to the steel mills, cement plants were also built, and although the output was not large, it was better than nothing.

This is the second, the basic industry of infrastructure.

The brick and tile factory does not have to worry about it, and directly uses the boat to mine the soil on the land of the peasants, which can also play a role in some way.

This is the third, and the fortifications still have to rely on it.

Without it, the role of the eldest and the second child at the moment cannot be played at all, and the three are interdependent, and none of them is indispensable.

In addition, there is a furniture factory, which is the most worry-free, and there is no sign of adaptation to the soil and water at all.

Other factories only lack raw materials and equipment, and there are many technicians.

When Wang Xuan left, Wang Zhi and Liu Liu only let them take away a lot of merchants, immigrants and technicians, and they were all busy building on Shenlong Island.

Wang Zhi pondered, after the peasants settled down, he would help them train a group of warriors to assist the auspicious people in defending the city.

He wasn't worried that the other party would refuse, not at all.

Now the two sides are dependent on each other, and one loses both.

Keeping the auspiciousness is equivalent to keeping the incense of the peasants, how can there be any reason to refuse?

In this way, although Shenlong Island is not impregnable, it is also a vast army, and it is not a problem to hold on for a longer period of time.

At that time, if the local reinforcements still did not arrive, they could also respond flexibly and send ships back to ask for help.

'This has to be planned carefully, and I hope that the Chaiyi patriarch can transfer as many people out as possible." ’

While Wang Zhi was worried about the peasants, the peasants couldn't even take care of dinner, so they hurriedly packed their bags and used the newly made raft to move to the stronghold.

It is a matter of national righteousness, who can be sloppy and who dares to be sloppy?

The two transport ships provided by Jixiang are all used to transport grain and supplies.

They are the heaviest and most important.

To the northwest, the peasants set up temporary defensive forts.

It is said to be a fortress, but it is actually a thick earthen wall to defend against the artillery bombardment of the invaders.

After Chai Rong came back, Chai Yi gave him a big hug.

This relieved Chai Rong's tired heart a little.

"I know everything, okay, the mascot helped us avenge the past, and we have to take the rest ourselves. ”

Chai Rong's eyes were wet, his lips trembled, but he couldn't say a word.

"Okay, Elder Rong is organizing the clansmen to evacuate, you go to the front and guard, the wall has to be widened and lengthened, and you can't be sloppy. ”

Chai Rong nodded, turned around and headed northwest.

He knows that the more he pays, the more opportunities the people will have to live.

In today's situation, all three parties are moving.

On the auspicious side, they are busy disposing of corpses to prevent the plague from generating, while the military summarizes the gains and losses and prepares to deal with the situation in the coming days.

On the invaders' side, the command of the operation had been sidelined, and the Second Army took up the banner.

Their plan of action, as soon as it was approved by the general, was put into practice.

A group of people returned to the base camp overnight, holding a letter from the general, demanding that the fleet immediately go north to suppress the space for the mascot's movement.

Another group of people, gathering the conscripts, prepared to launch a retaliatory night raid war against the peasants.

Night blindness is common among the peasant population......

More than 4,000 men of the First Army were temporarily placed under the command of the Second Army, so that George's command was nearly 10,000.

This is all his capital, and there is a lot of space.

He planned to organize an army of 5,000 men to defeat the peasants overnight to contribute to the next operation.

The weakest of the three peasants, after a series of misfortunes, learned from the pain, fully adopted Wang Zhi's opinion, and moved overnight.

Chai Yi naturally knows that if you want to transfer millions of people in a short period of time, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Most of the ships were confiscated by the invaders, and there were very few improvised rafts, so that even for three days and three nights.

Now we can only hope that the mascot can send carbon in the snow.

Although they don't know what snow is.

For this reason, the messenger has been dispatched, and although he knows that the mascot is not easy, Chai Yi still hopes that they can send a stronger transport ship to help them escape from this place of right and wrong.

In order to achieve this goal, all men over twenty years old were transferred to the northwest to strengthen the defensive line and set traps.

If an intruder comes to attack, they are not allowed to take a step back unless they are dead.

The clansmen on the front line know that all this is for the continuation of the clan's incense.

Among the retreating crowd are their close relatives, their children and nephews, and their parents and friends.

There was no need for chaiyi to mobilize, and the peasants at this time showed a great side, choosing self-sacrifice for the continuation of the race.

"All are good, and I am with you. ”
